In Re: 4552053 
Appeal of Vermont Service Center Decision 
Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker (H-lB) 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
Date: JAN. 30, 2020 
The Petitioner, a software consulting firm, seeks to temporarily employ the Beneficiary under the 
H-IB nonimmigrant classification for specialty occupations. Immigration and Nationality Act section 
101(a)(l5)(H)(i)(b), 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b). The H-lB program allows a U.S. employer to 
temporarily employ a qualified foreign worker in a position that requires both (a) the theoretical and 
practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge and (b) the attainment of a bachelor's 
or higher degree in the specific specialty (or its equivalent) as a minimum prerequisite for entry into 
the position . 
The Director of the Vermont Service Center denied the petition. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration 
Services records indicate that a subsequent Form I-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker, filed by 
the Petitioner has been approved for the Beneficiary and, thus, further pursuit of the matter at hand is 
moot. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
